Normally, if someone told me they were holding a contraption made of plumbing parts and home-made valves, pressurized to 400psi with carbon dioxide, I'd try to talk them out of suicide. But you've built more guns than anyone else on this forum I think, so on that note...

This is a serious statement about your confidence in your workmanship, that you're willing to hold a gun you built, with a home-made valve, pressurized to 400psi. You must be 100% sure about every fitting, etc... Very cool, dude. Hats off to you.

It's all thickwalled metal, rated to over 2000 psi. I'd say i'm fairly experienced, I would never take it above 40 bar anywho.

What was the barrel made of?
I'm considering taking the sawed-off higher so I'm very interested..

I just put an aluminium barrel on it, but it was black irrigation pipe. Damb.
